    Jewelry Brand to Watch: OMA

    Last year when more influencers promoted black-owned businesses, I discovered and quickly fell in love with OMA.

In addition to being high in quality, they are also beautifully…

  • The Best Overnight Face Masks

    The Best Overnight Face Masks

    I love a beauty moment. Pampering is always my jam, but like many of you, it’s not something I have a ton of time for. While I could wear a sheet mask in the evenings, I prefer to be upright watching trash like Love Island, and I tend to completely forget about any other kind…

    The Best Nail Polish for Your At Home Manicure

    I love nothing more than freshly painted nails, but even before the Coronavirus hit, I rarely got a manicure.

    8 Great Statement Earrings That Will Dress Up Any Outfit

    I’ve always loved a statement earring. As a third grader, I spent every dollar I had at Claire’s on everything from bangle bracelets to fish-shaped barrettes. That love for bold jewelry translated to earrings so large my ears hurt at the end of a night out in college. Then, we all made the switch to…

    MILK Make-Up Lip and Cheek Stick

    I snapped up this MILK Make-Up Lip and Cheek Stick after seeing it on Liz Adam’s stories. I love a cream blush and thought the formulation of this one was really pretty. I have it in the Werk color, which seemed apropos considering I’m werking all the time. To use, swipe a little of the…

  • Fall Trend to Try: Snakeskin

    Fall Trend to Try: Snakeskin

    In my college years, I owned a pair of snakeskin print, strappy sandals from Wal-Mart that I wore with everything. In fact, you may have seen me huddled outside a club, waiting for one-in-one-out to go my way with my bare toes near snow. I’m much more sensible now, but I still love snakeskin. It’s…
